Actually no. Its very simple --> private equity firm buys Gibson Guitars circa 1986. Over the last 30 years the CEO has changed the structure of Gibson from a guitar company to a holding company while turning Gibson into what the CEO thinks is, "a lifestyle brand," akin to Nike.
Whether or not Henry has been successful in his quest for, "lifestyle brand," is very debatable. How much of Gibson Brands is actually still devoted to making guitars must be a tiny percent. I wouldn't be surprised if all Gibson Guitars where now built buy Contractors and just, "branded," Gibson.
Anyways, Phillips does not own Gibson.. So Phillips can not sell Gibson. Yamaha can not buy Gibson
